It would be necessary to charge lot rents atleast 20% above
comparables and/or double the usual charge for electrical hook up to
provide 30% plus of the KWH = kilowatt hours from solar. I don't think
many people would be willing to pay the premium rates. Getting 60%
plus from solar when the park was near capacity would require costly
energy storage for night time and cloudy periods especially in
December when the Sun is low in the sky thoughout the Northern
Hemisphere and night lasts 13 to 20 hours per day.   Neil
